Chapter 668
The flags fluttered in the air. The emperor, whose body was slightly raised, rode a dragon to drive them out of the capital, all the way to the Tai Lai Royal Manor on the outskirts of the city.
Mu Yunyao and Crown Princess Yu sat in a carriage, followed by Si Qin and Si Qin. The carriage swayed slightly, and the curtains slightly swayed. Mu Yunyao looked through the window just in time to see Prince Jin riding on a horse.
Prince Jin was dressed in the garish gold garb of a prince. His gaze was upright and his expression was warm. Sitting on the white horse, he looked like an elegant gentleman, making people forget about him. However, she could see through his beautiful skin to the dark calculations and inflated ambitions in his heart.
Prince Jin seemed to have sensed something as he turned to look in the direction of Mu Yunyao. However, all he saw was the slightly swaying curtain of the carriage.
Min Fanghua poured a cup of tea and placed it beside Mu Yunyao, "Yao`er, I'm really sorry. You even have to accompany me to take the risk." Mu Yunyao shook her head. "Second sister in law, you don't need to say that. The Spring Tillage Ceremony is not only about praying for the flow of rain and wind, but also praying that there will be a plentiful harvest next year. As the Crown Prince's consort, I am helping the Imperial Concubine Qi manage the sericulture ..
"Courtesies are also a matter of course." Yao'er, I've discovered that you always have the ability to comfort people. With a few words, you'll be able to make them feel at ease. " Although Yunyao's words were correct, it was different from the past. In the past, participating in the Spring Growing Ceremony a hundred times was fine, but this time, knowing that Prince Jin and the Li Family would cause trouble, she could have pretended to be sick and dodged it, but now ..
historical
He didn't show the slightest intention of dodging, which was truly admirable.
The Royal Manor was not too far from the capital, but because the emperor had just recovered some of his strength, the troops did not dare to move too quickly. They had rested twice before arriving at the manor in the evening.
Mu Yunyao walked out of the carriage and sized up the grass in the fields that was close to her but without sight. Her lips curled up into a comfortable smile. Because Tai Lai Royal Manor had always been designated as the location for the Spring Growing Ceremony, the interior of the Royal Manor was arranged in a more luxurious manner and there were plenty of rooms in the palace. Mu Yunyao went to the prearranged courtyard and tidied it up.
Scene.
The two walked and stopped, talking and laughing along the way. The atmosphere was harmonious. The two of them went back to rest as the sky darkened.
He had originally wanted to wash up before coming back to rest, but he was worried about Mu Yunyao, so he couldn't control himself and came over. When he opened the door, he saw the person he was worried about sitting at the side, holding his head with one hand, dozing off.
Perhaps the wind that had just opened the door had alarmed her, as Mu Yunyao opened her hazy eyes and saw the figure of the Duke of Yue. A smile immediately appeared on her face. "Fourth Master, you've returned."
Seeing her rosy cheeks and hazy appearance, King Yue could not help but feel his heart soften. Just as he wanted to hug her, he heard the clanging of armor and immediately stopped.
"Yao'er, why aren't you asleep yet?" If you don't come back, I won't be able to sleep soundly. " Mu Yunyao, however, didn't mind. She stepped forward and leaned into King Yue's embrace, immediately shivering from the ice armor. Her hazy sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and she unwillingly extended her finger to dig at the armor. The armor was fine, but her own finger ..
The spikes were red.
Yue Yang's heart grew softer and softer as he held her hand and blew, "I'll go down and change my clothes first. I'll sleep with you later."
"I have hot water ready." Mu Yunyao knew that it had been tough for King Yue. Not only had she prepared hot water, but she had also placed medicinal herbs in the water that would allow people to clear their meridians and recover their strength.
After taking a bath, King Yue immediately felt his body lighten. After returning, he embraced Mu Yunyao and chatted for a while before the two gradually entered dreamland.
The candles in the room burned, and from time to time, there would be drops of tears falling. Seeing that the candles were about to burn out, a loud noise was suddenly heard, causing the two people in the room to suddenly open their eyes.
He got off the bed, put on some clothes, picked up his sword and walked out, "Yao'er, don't wander around in the room. I'll go take a look at what's going on." According to their previous guesses, Prince Jin and his men should not have acted so hastily.
Mu Yunyao quickly put on her clothes. Hidden within her sleeves was the gem and dagger that Yue Yang had given her. She sat by the side of the bed with a solemn expression. After waiting for half an hour, there was only noise outside and nothing else. Only then did her heart gradually relax.
Si Qin walked into the room. "Miss, this servant went to investigate. The reason I made such a ruckus was because tomorrow at the Grand Ceremony, the cow that was being used for farming suddenly died."
Mu Yunyao's forehead wrinkled, "Weren't there people who were specially watching over and taking care of her all this time? How did he coincidentally die tonight? "
The Spring Tillage Ceremony was about to begin tomorrow morning at dawn. Looking at the time, it was probably too late to find the cattle.
"Have you investigated the reason?"
"Someone went over to take a look, but did not find anything wrong. It was just that foam was foaming at the mouth of the cow's mouth, making it look extremely miserable."
What was Prince Jin planning to do?
Mu Yunyao waited for a while, and very quickly someone came to invite her to Princess Yu's courtyard.
Mu Yunyao looked at the color of the sky and a dark light flashed in her eyes. "The Spring Growing Ceremony will only start in an hour. I'll pack my things and directly go over. Just follow your words and report back to Princess Yu."
The maid raised her head and saw that Si Qin and Si Cha were standing to the left and right of Mu Yunyao. They were extremely cautious of her and did not force her to do so. She turned around and quickly left.
Si Cha couldn't help but say, "Fortunately, Princess Hua-Yang has made preparations in advance."
In order to prevent others from causing trouble, Mu Yunyao and Min Fanghua had made an agreement in advance that if they sent people to pass the message, the person who sent the message would definitely give two applause before bowing. Otherwise, the others wouldn't be able to believe it. He hadn't thought that someone would take advantage of the chaos to make a move so quickly.
There were even some officials who took the opportunity to speak up, saying that the death of the cattle before the ceremony was in fact an extremely ominous event. They asked the Emperor to investigate the reason thoroughly, and that there were people who had placed the blame on the Titan, who was in charge of the order and defense of the ceremony. However, the Emperor had not paid attention to that.
Time quickly passed. Seeing that the sky was getting whiter than a fish's belly, Mu Yunyao packed everything up before arriving at the side of the field. The emperor, whose face was pale to the point of being abnormal, walked down from his throne and looked at the plow tied with red silk in the field. He said, "Today is the Spring Growing Ceremony, but I did not sleep yesterday.
In the long run, we will definitely forget about the hardships we faced. "
When the officials heard this, they were stunned. The cattle were being plowed to death, was the emperor going to chop them into pieces? The emperor continued, "Last night, the cattle were suddenly killed. During my sleep, I had a dream, in which the ox would kneel on the ground and cry incessantly, bow to me three times, and then leave on the cloud, with another immortal at my brow, and with the guidance of the gods, I suddenly understood the meaning of this. The immortal took the cattle away, hoping that my officials would take care of Nong Sang in person, and come to support Qu Li.
